Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that each Organ system has a specific time of day when it functions at its highest and lowest energy. Certain activities and moods are expected at specific hours of the day, and reflect the state of your vital energy and overall health. Practitioners can decipher a pattern in your symptoms or an imbalance in your system using this clock as a guide. For example, if you often find yourself waking up between 3:00-5:00AM, this may be indicative of a Lung condition/imbalance or you may be experiencing deep grief or sadness (emotions associated with Lungs).

How does your daily routine compare? Are you able to detect any imbalances in your system?

As always, please feel free to call us with any questions or comments. :)

The Traditional Chinese Medicine approach examines the state of the tongue and pulse to determine an appropriate diagnosis for each patient. Also taking each symptom or ailment into account, the body is viewed as a holistic system in which everything is interconnected and every piece of the puzzle must be examined in order to understand the state of the individual's health.
